New! Banko Chelchele Supernatural

A supernatural that is bright and fun! Our Banko Chelchele Supernatural is a fruit-driven cup boasting tasting notes of raspberry lime rickey, hibiscus, apricot jam, blue raspberry slushie, and strawberry. If you love a fruit-forward natural process Ethiopia, this coffee is for you. Plus it’s our last natural process Ethiopia of the season, so load up while supplies last!

What is a supernatural you ask? It is when enhanced or experimental processing methods are employed, along with naturally processing the coffee, to create complex and fruit-driven cups. In the case of this microlot, red ripe coffee cherry was sealed into carbon fiber drums for an anaerobic (devoid of oxygen) fermentation for 7 to 10 days at 15-18 degrees Celsius. During this stage, the sugars from the coffee cherry fruit further develop to create even more intense fruit notes than typical of a traditional natural process. After fermentation, the coffee cherry is laid out to dry on raised screen beds until it is then moved to a climate controlled warehouse for further resting, then milled/bagged, and then finally shipped.

Unparalleled quality, a human story, and sustainability – that’s our coffee philosophy.

Unparalleled quality. We won’t buy a coffee unless we know that it will inspire you.
A human story. Often times a producer’s story gets lost in the coffee supply chain. It’s our focus to provide a seed to cup experience, honoring everyone involved.
Sustainability. We purchase sustainable coffees directly from producers and through brokers who share our goal of making coffee a sustainable commodity. Financially and environmentally, the coffees we purchase seek balance.
